Things To Know for Dog Training in the Central Coast

Dogs must also be up to date with their C5 (or equivalent) vaccinations, and a certificate must be provided before training begins. We are able to cater for dogs that aren't desexed, but we do not take dogs in heat across our centres. To the extent your dog comes into heat whilst in our care, we will require an emergency contact to pick them up within 24 hours of being notified. Additionally, please ensure that all flea and worming treatments are up to date.

We understand how crucial it is to stay informed about your dog's training journey. That's why, during the program, you'll receive regular updates through your Customer Portal, keeping you fully informed about your dog's progress.
